I wanted to pick up Guo Bingxun, but I didn't expect that before Yang Zhen took his remaining brothers to Dongxiang Village, I met Guo Bingxun who came to pick them up first. Seeing Guo Bingxun with bandages on his arm, Yang Zhen quickly asked with concern: "Old Guo, are your arm injured? Is it serious?"

Seeing that Yang Zhen did not ask how he completed the mission, but was concerned about his injuries, Guo Bingxun raised his bandaged arm and smiled and said, "It's okay, when fighting with the Japanese guards, I wiped the stray bullets, it's not heavy."

When Yang Zhen heard that Guo Bingxun had just wiped the bullet and his injuries were not serious, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. For Yang Zhen at this time, it was too important for the control of these former national soldiers or for future operations. If Guo Bingxun was lost, Yang Zhen, who is not familiar with these national soldiers, would be difficult to truly control these people.

He knew that even if he rescued them and even if he showed great skills in front of them, it was not easy to conquer these people from the bottom of his heart and make them obey the command of his Communist army.

The gap between them was too great before. Although he had saved their lives, the two sides who had fought now were considered friendly forces. However, the grudges in the middle cannot be eliminated in a short time. Leaving Guo Bingxun, leaving here, and getting out of the crisis, Yang Zhen even doubted whether he could still command these people.

Guo Bingxun may know what Yang Zhen was thinking, or he may not know. But since the beginning of the action, he has always shown enough respect for Yang Zhen, especially in front of all the former soldiers of the National Army, and he showed a firm sense of obedience to any orders given by Yang Zhen.

After briefly chatting about the injuries, the smile on Guo Bingxun's face disappeared, and instead he stood at the stern face and saluted Yang Zhen with a serious face, "Report to the commander-in-chief, Guo Bingxun returned after completing the mission. Our army wiped out fourteen people in the Dongxiang Village Japanese Guards' Guards' Guards and their families in total, with a total of one hundred and sixty people."

"A total of twelve rifles, forty pistols, one light machine gun, and one piece of various supplies and equipment were seized in this battle. None of the armed Japanese in the Dongxiang Village missed the net and were wiped out."

Looking at Guo Bingxun who stood attentively to salute him in front of everyone, Yang Zhen immediately understood what he meant. He did this in front of everyone, not only to make the position of his commander-in-chief, but also to express his absolute obedience to him. Since he, the highest-ranking official position in the country here, has already expressed his opinion, the people below are not qualified to object.

Regarding Guo Bingxun's disguised way of expressing his opinion, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and expressed that he understood his feelings and gave an extremely standard military salute: "Thank you brothers for your hard work. Thank you for your efforts, we not only successfully escaped, but also eliminated all the Japanese here, and eliminated this demon army that uses our flesh and blood compatriots to conduct bacterial war experiments. In the near future, the demons they created themselves will bring unprecedented disasters to our nation and compatriots."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen turned his head and looked at this place that once had tortured countless Chinese people in the history he knew, and then turned his head to say to all the people: "Let us always remember here, remember all the days and nights we have experienced here. Remember this cannibal Japanese army, firmly remember all the things the devils did to our compatriots. And all the brothers who sacrificed here."

Looking at Yang Zhen who was sighing, Guo Bingxun walked to him and said, "Old Yang, now is not the time to sigh. For us, the most important thing now is what to do next? You said that this is not a place to stay for a long time. Since we have finished what we should do, it should be time to evacuate."

Regarding Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen nodded and asked Xiaohuzi to take out the map collected from Shiro Ishii's office. With the light of the flashlight, Yang Zhen pointed to the map and looked at Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie and said, "What should I do next? I have a preliminary idea. Lao Guo, look at it. This is the bungalow railway station in Harbin, and to the north, this is where we are now."

"This area is all plains. On this terrain, it is difficult for us to get rid of the Japanese aircraft tracking, as well as the pursuit of cavalry and mechanized troops. The Japanese have much more control over the plains, which are food-producing areas, than their control over the mountains. So the only thing we can do now is to retreat to the mountains as soon as possible. As for the others, wait until the mountains."

"Look at Lao Guo, although we can enter the Little Khingan Mountains to the north, we need to bypass Harbin, where the Japanese have heavy troops, and the distance of this marching is not close. In this plain terrain, it is too dangerous for us to make long-distance marchs in the area with tight control of the Japanese. Moreover, once the Japanese find something happening here, even if they want to kill people to silence them, they will have to dispatch cavalry, mechanized troops and even planes to pursue us."

"So what I mean is that after we head southeast, enter Acheng, we will go straight to Songfeng Mountain and Daqing Mountain. This is the remnant of Zhang Guangcai Ridge. Although the mountain is not high, it is better because of the dense forests, which can provide us with a temporary opportunity to rest."

"And, after we get there, we will have much more room for maneuver. We can enter Xing'an Mountains to the north and Jilin to the south. In addition, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces also have troops in this area, which can cooperate with us."

Guo Bingxun looked at the map, listened to Yang Zhen's plan, pondered for a while before nodding, "This is the only way to do now. In fact, if we retreat north, there will be more room for maneuver. Although there are mountains in Acheng, it is between two railway lines, and there are many Japanese troops around. There are railway lines, so it is very convenient for Japanese to mobilize troops and is not suitable for our long-term activities."

"But from here, you need to bypass Harbin and penetrate northeast, so that the march distance is too long. This is in the plains and we are carrying wounded, which is very easy to be caught up by the Japanese. This is all plains and the heartland controlled by the Japanese. The situation is complicated and there are all Japanese spies everywhere. Once we are exposed, it is very convenient for the Japanese to mobilize troops."

"Okay, Lao Yang, just do what you said. After crossing the Labin Railway, we went straight to the southeast. Didn't we seize a large number of Japanese military uniforms? Let the troops change the Japanese military uniforms first, so that they can hide as long as they can."

"It's decided that way. Lao Guo, please count the number of people immediately and order the brothers to change into the Japanese military uniforms, organize their weapons and ammunition, and set off immediately. It's almost dawn, so we can't delay here any longer." Since Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie had no objection to their decision, Yang Zhen nodded without hesitation and gave the order.

After explaining to Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen found Huang Dali alone, handed him a map, and a pair of Japanese telescopes, saying to him: "Dali, you are an old Red Army scout. You are engaged in reconnaissance. You have the most experience here. Those who can fight in such a difficult environment as the Long March, I believe you have the ability to open a good way for the large army."

"You can choose any brothers here. You can choose eleven brothers, dress up as a Japanese, and serve as advance personnel of the large army. Remember not to reveal your identity easily, and you must understand the situation along the way. I have marked you on the map of the general route of the marching."

"We don't have much combat power now. Once we meet a large group of Japanese soldiers, it will be difficult for us to escape unscathed. Even if we encounter a puppet army with stronger combat power, we are not sure of winning. We are just lucky to win here, far from having reached the point of defeating Japanese soldiers. Not to mention too many, the Japanese will come to another squadron, which will be a disaster for us.

"We have no foundation here, no source of information. The enemy situation around us is not clear at all, and we are not even as good as blind people. The advances you lead are our eyes. When making any decision, you must be cautious and never act recklessly. Whether you can find a safe march route for your brothers will be placed on you. Remember that you may affect the lives of hundreds of brothers."

When he heard Yang Zhen explaining this, Huang Dali looked solemn and laughing, and nodded seriously: "Company Commander Yang, don't worry, I will do what you told you. Be good for everyone and open a good way."

Regarding Huang Dali's answer, Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "I believe you can do it well, and I believe you will not embarrass the troops of the 18th Army. You go to find Lao Guo and choose good people to set off immediately. But one thing is that you want to come back alive."

Huang Dali nodded and didn't say anything. After saluting, he turned around and asked Guo Bingxun for someone. Looking at his hurried back, Yang Zhen shook his head, but he felt a little worried. His current confidence is far from as sufficient as he did when he spoke to Huang Dali.

Since the September 18th Incident, the Japanese have been entrenched in the Northeast for nearly seven years. Their control over the Northeast is far beyond comparison. The Japanese personally trained by the Japanese and fully equipped puppet Manchukuo army is not as good as the puppet army that is incorporated by the Japanese in the Pass, which is not even as good as the miscellaneous troops.

What made Yang Zhen the most headache was whether the Japanese were the Japanese, nor the puppet army. Instead, in order to rule the Northeast for a long time, the Japanese were filled with a large number of traitors and spies in the Northeast. Although these dogs with little combat effectiveness, they were more informed and threatened the most.

Many anti-Japanese Allied soldiers were not sacrificed at the hands of the Japanese, but at the hands of their compatriots who acted as thugs for the Japanese. And they were not considered puppet troops and traitors and spies of all sizes. The Kanto Army, which is now at its peak, has a total of millions of people stationed in the Northeast. These are all what they are going to face.

Is it possible to not be exposed if the Japanese have been in control for seven years and have been marching dozens of kilometers in plains, and Is it possible to not be exposed? Yang Zhen had no answer to this point. He could only take one step at a time.

Guo Bingxun was very fast. Not long after Huang Dali left, he counted the number of people and sorted out the team. There were only more than 500 people coming, but now there were less than 400 people left, and nearly one-fifth of them were wounded. In other words, for only half an hour of fierce fighting with the Japanese security squadron, he suffered more than 100 casualties on this side. Moreover, after chasing the battle, most of these casualties were caused in hand-to-hand combat.

Looking at the team that was shorter than when it came, Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, and he couldn't help but screamed for luck. This battle was carried out when one side had the advantage in the number of people and the firepower was basically the same after he suppressed the heavy machine guns. In this way, the casualties ratio almost reached one to one. Moreover, according to the number of casualties and the number of Japanese killers, his casualties were even greater.

This is still because the Japanese dare not destroy the place, and did not use heavy weapons, and when they attacked, they were bound and were greatly restricted. If they were really pulled onto the battlefield and had real swords and guns, according to the combat effectiveness shown today, even if they were facing a Japanese squadron, it would be great if half of these 500 people could be left in this battle. They might even be defeated by the Japanese backhand.

Fortunately, because the Japanese did not use heavy weapons, they even used grenade launchers, and they used precise rifles to suppress the Japanese heavy machine guns. Most of the wounded people in the team were light wounded people who did not affect the operation, and the number of serious injuries was only a dozen.

Although it is now considered that everyone has one shot, there are more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, and there are even two captured grenade launchers. After the seized ammunition is distributed in a concentrated manner, each rifle has reached the standard equipment of 120 rounds of the Japanese. However, the casualties ratio of that round of fierce battles made Yang Zhen decide that he could avoid the Japanese and tried his best to avoid them. All of them were like this, and Yang Zhen didn't even dare to think about the consequences of the field battle with the Japanese.

The urgency of time made Yang Zhen, who knew that he could wipe out the Japanese security squadron, dared not delay any more. After the team was refitted, he immediately carried the dozen seriously injured people, buried the dead brothers and led the team to set off.

For safety reasons, Yang Zhen personally led the vanguard. Ma Ming, who was born in the Northwest Army, took the initiative to bear the burden of hiding the rear and containing the rear. In his words, when the battle for the Great Breakout in Xuzhou, our 59th Army was cut off, and the same is true here. The most difficult place is, and there are people from their 59th Army there.

Time was tight, and Yang Zhen did not hesitate at all about Ma Ming's request and nodded directly. Guo Bingxun, who was beside him, couldn't help but sigh and said, "During the Battle of Xuzhou, although I could not meet Xuchen, I was still famous for my long-term reputation. Su Wen, the 59th Army has always been known for fighting hard and dangerous battles. When I saw General Xuchen's subordinates today, I was indeed well-known. Don't worry, Ma Ming, I will definitely equip you with the best soldiers and the best weapons."

"Captain Guo, no need, I just need the dozens of brothers who guarded the underground passage with me before. As for weapons, the amount of ammunition on hand is enough. Our Northwest Army has never been so rich in wars." Ma Ming shook his head for Guo Bingxun's kindness, but refused.

Rejecting Guo Bingxun's kindness, Ma Ming saluted Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun and said, "Two sirs, please rest assured. As long as you have a breath of breath, the Japanese will never catch up with your brothers. The two sirs, if you are lucky enough to open the mountain, you can meet you alive. I am listening to the instructions of the two sirs. The two sirs, it's getting late, please let the two sirs go."

Yang Zhen did not say much about Ma Ming's oath. He just stuffed the German-made telescope seized from Shiro Ishii into his arms, and said only: "You and your brothers must catch up with the troops alive. I am waiting for you on Songfeng Mountain and Daqing Mountain."
